Hi Sleeps,

I'm hoping it is benign as well, but the surgeon had various reasons why he thought it was more likely to be cancerous in this particular instance.

But I'm still hoping it will just turn out to be benign.

Their office also said there would be a 2-4 week recovery period. So that is disturbing given the chain of events which happened after I planned the surgery - but it seems like it is important to get it done.

Anyway - thanks Sleeps. I really appreciate your good thoughts! Big time.

Hugs,
